Inspired "Ode
To America"
"Ode To America", th?. new religious^
patriotic hymn hy jule*Bledsoe.
Negro baritoone whifch
was widely sung on Memorial Day
owes its inspirationn to a trip up
the Washington Monument. While
looking from the observation plat
form on the Monument across to
Lincoln Memorial, Mr. Bledsoe
was deeply affected by the conthe
United States and ?he vitality
of this thought when it came
in open conflict with the dominating
^philosophies ctf the fascist
states.
"Conditions have been far from
tdeal in the United State^ for the
Negro race", said Mr. .Bledsoe,
"but we have fundamentally sound
reasons to be thankful that we are
Americans, as have the people of
every other minority living in our
country. I am sure the (Negro
people would not sacrifice their
American eitieenship to live in
France or Germany, although in
some superficial aspects, they receive
better treatment there."
-A" line of the song, "Oh, thou
land by God inspired", grew to ?
ititfring lyric By the UW Mr.
i Bledsoe reached his home in Cali-r
fornia following1 his trip from
i Washington. He has sung "Ode
To America" on his recent concert
tour-at schools and colleges
where the audience has been asked
to join Tn the paen of tHumphant
praise to p freedom-loving
country. _He. believes^ that ag-the
I war sentiment groows, people of
the United States will seek closer
communion .with religion and. that
much of the strength of our coun?onviction,
